Angel Training

I turned on Catholic Songs for Children today for the kids to listen to. Olivia decided she would stand on the table in front of the picture of the Sacred Heart and "learn how to be an angel". She practiced all kinds of apparent angel moves (I guess angels like to move in all sorts of contortions!) Last night she stood there and did a dance "to make Jesus happy"! Of course Naomi stood by observing and proceeded to copy everything her big sister did!

Speaking of being an angel, though she's not quite and "angel" yet, she has taken great strides lately. She is such a helper now and becoming much more independent. In the last few days, she has decided to dress herself and make her bed without prompting. She folded all the towels for me today and put away her own clothes from the clean laundry. She set the table and cleaned up the living room and playroom (one of her favorite ways to make me smile!) She's becoming my little buddy and when she's good (which fortunately is much more frequently!), she's such a joy!
